Primarily consisting of Yuki Chikudate (vocals, keyboards) and James Hanna (guitar, vocals), Asobi Seksu(Japanese for “playful sex”) was a shoegaze/dream pop band based in New York City whose music was built around a textured and effects-heavy vocal/guitar sound. Blending pop sensibilities and poignant moments of melancholia with unexpected sonic explosions, their eponymous 2002 debut Asobi Seksu is chock full of rhythmic precision and saturated ethereal melodies. They drew comparisons to My Bloody Valentine, Cocteau Twins and Lush and issued three more albums including Citrus (2006), Hush (2009) and Fluorescence (2011).
